In a partial win for lenders, the court rules they're not liable for hidden commission payments in car finance schemes.

The FCA said it estimates the cost of any scheme, including compensation and administrative costs, to be no lower than £9bn - adding that a total cost of £13.5bn is "more plausible".

Britain's highest court Friday largely overturned a lower court's ruling that certain car finance agreements were unlawful, a decision likely to bring a sigh of relief among lenders and limit the scale of compensation payments.
